This
is my guinea pig Baby Frankie, he is a two-year-old boy. I named him
Frankie after my uncle, because he has a bald patch on the middle of his
head and so does Baby (which you can't really see because the rest of
his fur flops over it).

I got him around Easter time two years ago after my hamster had died and
I decided I wanted a guinea pig. When I went into the pet shop all the
guinea pigs looked the same, they were all short-haired ones and I didn't
like any so I was about to leave then I saw Baby running along and
squeaking. He looked like a big pile of messy fluff and I wanted him
straight away. He's more like a little dog than a guinea pig, because he
has his own bed, chew toy and harness.

He and my mom have a special bond because whenever she goes to see him
she calls out his name and he lets out a high-pitched voice but when I
do it he just ignores me! He's the best guinea pig ever and I don't know
what I'd do without him.
